Actually limit Hashcat performance/consumption?

[x_pike]

Hi, I'm trying to actually lower hashcat´s performance/consumption. I want to use it while I work, but when I run it, even with the -w 1 parameter, it starts to hog up resources, which is ok, but the GPU starts to suck watts so my UPS starts to sound the alarm lol. Also tried to use -u but its deprecated right now.

Is there a way to maybe limit hashcat´s performance to maybe 25% or 50% of its current one?

Thanks in advance for the help!
